Aljazeera: More US soldiers die in Iraq


A second US soldier has been killed in 24 hours in a rocket-propelled grenade attack in the Iraqi town of Tikrit.

A spokesman for the US Army's 4th Infantry Division gave no other details of the ambush in the hometown of ousted president Saddam Hussein.

But the death follows that of another soldier earlier on Sunday after his vehicle struck a landmine near the central town of Baiji, about 220km northwest of Baghdad.
